OSL → BTS
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional view of the Oslofjord upon departure and the architectural marvel of the Oresund Bridge, followed by a scenic approach into the Danube region.
Oslofjord
Breathtaking views of the islands, narrow inlets, and maritime traffic immediately after departure from OSL.
Øresund Bridge
The massive 16km link between Copenhagen and Malmö is clearly visible as you cross from Sweden to the continent.
Prague & Vltava
On clear days, the spires of Prague and the winding Vltava river appear as you cross Central Bohemia.
Lower Alps & Little Carpathians
During the descent into BTS, you can see the edge of the Austrian Alps to the west and the rolling Little Carpathian hills.
Danube River
The mighty Danube is visible just before landing, marking the border between Slovakia, Austria, and Hungary.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Bohemian landscape. Look for the Oresund Bridge roughly 40-50 minutes after takeoff. During the final approach into Bratislava, this side offers a superior view of the Danube's expansive floodplain and the outskirts of Vienna.
Swedish West Coast
Aerial views of the rugged Gothenburg archipelago and the dense forests of southern Sweden.
Bornholm Island
The Danish island of Bornholm often appears as a lone green jewel in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Sudetes Mountains
The Krkonoše range on the Polish-Czech border offers dramatic peaks, often snow-capped during winter months.
Wrocław
The 'City of 100 Bridges' is visible with its distinct red-roofed Old Town and the Oder River snaking through it.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Keep an eye out for the Polish plains shifting into the Czech highlands approximately 70 minutes into the flight. In winter, this side offers the best views of the snow-covered Giant Mountains.
